Vondet creates a persistent planning board for Claude AI

A persistent memory for AI

When users work with AI models like Claude, the conversation often resets or loses context once a session ends. Vondet addresses this by providing a planning board that the AI can write to and read from continuously. Instead of the AI providing a fresh summary every time you start a new chat, the information accumulates in one shared location.

The board acts as a central repository for goals, specific moves, and the reasoning behind them. It is designed to be a place where the AI's output arrives rather than a place where the user has to manually type everything out. You can keep working in your preferred AI app while the board serves as the shared reference for both you and the model.

This setup ensures that the plan stays consistent regardless of how many different conversations you have. If you are away for a long period, the next AI session will read the same board and continue where the previous one left off. This prevents the AI from making conflicting decisions or losing track of the overarching project objectives.

How the connection works

Vondet connects to Claude using MCP, which is the open method that assistants use to interact with outside tools. Users can register a connection in the Claude app or the desktop version. For those using Claude Code, the system uses a board token to establish the link between the repository and the planning board.

The integration is designed to be seamless so that the user spends most of their time in the chat interface. You do not need to fill out ticket forms or chat panels within the Vondet app to update the plan. Instead, you simply tell the AI to perform a task or record a specific detail, and the AI handles the writing to the board automatically.

For example, a user might tell the AI to fix a specific error on a form and then instruct it to put that update in the plan. The AI then updates the board, which remains accessible for you to view whenever you want to see the progress. The conversation picks up from the plan automatically, meaning you don't have to retype your decisions into the chat every time you return.

Dynamic updates and reasoning

The board does not treat plans as static documents that need to be replaced entirely. Instead, it handles updates as cycles where the AI can move items up or down in the order. When you change the sequence of a task, the entire plan updates on the spot to reflect that new priority.

One of the key features is that every call or move recorded by the AI includes its reasoning and the conditions that would reverse it. This provides a clear audit trail of why certain decisions were made. If you disagree with a specific move, you can tell the AI to rewrite it, and the previous decision remains on record for your reference.

This structure prevents different sessions from colliding behind your back. Because there is only one single plan, a later session—whether it is started by you or another AI instance—will see the exact same history. This ensures that the project moves forward in a linear, logical fashion without the AI hallucinating previous instructions or contradicting itself.

Privacy and data ownership

Vondet is designed to be a tool that the AI keeps for you, but it does not take over your private files. The system does not read your code or touch anything on your local machine. It only interacts with what is written on the board, which consists of the AI's notes, the titles you provide, and any links you explicitly allow.

Users have full control over their data and can export the entire board as a JSON file with one click. This export functionality is available to everyone, including those using the free plan. The developers state that the contents belong to the user and they do not intend to lock the data within their system.

While Vondet has currently only verified the connection with Claude, the use of the open MCP method suggests that other assistants might work with it as well. However, the developers have not tested other models yet. For now, it remains a specialized tool for those looking to give Claude a more reliable long-term memory for complex planning tasks.

Visibility and project tracking

The board provides a high-level view of the entire project at a glance. It displays finished tasks, remaining items, and estimates compared to real-time progress. It also categorizes the work, allowing you to see the split of tasks across different areas of your project.

This visual summary is particularly useful for catching up quickly after a break. Instead of scrolling through hundreds of lines of chat history to remember what happened, you can open the board to see the whole picture. It serves as a dashboard for the work being done in the background of your conversations.

The tool is currently being used by people building various systems, such as mobile ordering platforms. By moving the
